ABOUT USThe mission of the Pre-PA Society is to encourage, recognize and promote the personal and professional development of those students who have expressed
an interest in becoming reputable health care providers.
The essence of the consortium is to provide academic support and professional insight by fostering growth
in each member while upholding the highest standards of ethics in the medical field.
Furthermore, the organization will serve to promote awareness of the Physician Assistant (PA) profession
as a viable career choice, to provide each member with a thorough understanding of the role of the PA
profession, and to support each member through the PA application.

WHY BECOME A PA?
You should consider the Physician Assistant occupation if you have a strong interest in medicine, do not want to be in school or incur debt over 4 years and still have specialty training as a physician would, but still want autonomy, medical skills and a good income.
